Annual Appeal: Please make a donation to keep the OEIS running. In 2018 we replaced the server with a faster one, added 20000 new sequences, and reached 7000 citations (often saying "discovered thanks to the OEIS").

An alternative definition is to start with 1 and then continue with the least number such that all pairwise differences of distinct elements are all distinct. - Jens Voß, Feb 04 2003. [However, compare A003022 and A227590. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 08 2016]

R. Lewis points out, at the first Weisstein link, that S, the sum of the reciprocals of this sequence, satisfies 2.158435 <= S <= 2.158677. Similarly, the sum of the squares of reciprocals of this sequence converges to approximately 1.33853369 and the sum of the cube of reciprocals of this sequence converges to approximately 1.14319352. - Jonathan Vos Post, Nov 21 2004
